it was a plan to build a space laser system to intercept and destroy incoming nuclear missiles and to build a force field dome around the United States. many scientists were against this plan because it was scientifically impossible.

It's official name at the time was the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). However, it was called, often derogatory towards the policy, as "Star Wars".
